Gene information for PLA2G12A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81579
Official gene symbolPLA2G12A
Full namephospholipase A2, group XIIA
Aliases,GXII,PLA2G12,ROSSY,
Gene summarySecreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzymes liberate arachidonic acid from phospholipids for production of eicosanoids and exert a variety of physiologic and pathologic effects. Group XII sPLA2s, such as PLA2G12A, have relatively low specific activity and are structurally and functionally distinct from other sPLA2s (Gelb et al., 2000 [PubMed 11031251]).[supplied by OMIM]
